Cleveland. O.. Sept. .24.—The
I'nited Mine workers of America convention delegates were scattered to
all parts of the country today determine to call a nation-wide coal strike
on Nov. 1, unless a satisfactory wage
and working agreement is reached
with the coal operators on or l>efore
that date.
The convention adjourned late yesterday after endorsing the wage and ' clauses.

international officers were bound
by the action of the convention to

declare themeselves satisfied with the

the convention also calls for the

RATIFY THE PEACE
TREATY: ENABLE
By HI (ill BAILLIE
(United Press Staff CVHrespondent.)
Aboard the President's Special
Train. Knroute to Cheyenne, Wyo.,
Sept. 24.—Ratification of the peace
treaty with its labor provisions will
• nable men to forget war and begin
working toward industrial democracy
which will prevent labor clashes like
the present steel strike, President
Wilson belieces today.
This can be given as his attitude,
not toward the steel strike in particular but toward labor difficulties
in general with regard to preserving
an attitude of absolute silence. Although there was no hint from official circles, it may be stated that
Wilson, having once already attempted to avert that strike, is disposed
to wait until both sides are ready
to ask his aid. Then it is probable
he will propose an armistice until
the Industrial conference meets in
Washington Oct. 6.
Wilson is firm in the belief that
the "cooling off" process provided
in the league of nations covenant
for international differences, with
good results can be applied also to
industrial disputes and that if the
representatives of both sides -w'lli
get together and talk it over, a settlement will result.
Should labor, ask bis intercession
in the steel strike, Wilson's probable
course would be to intimate to the
employes that he is ready to act if
they also request it. There is a
feeling that the president did not like
the manner in which his first offer
was spurned.
Therels no doubt that Wilson regards the steel strike as of the utmost seriousness. He has repeatedly warned that labor unrest ls
spreading as a result of delay in
bringing about a condition of peace
and that this unrest is coming from
Europe.
SEN. KENYON
ASKS FOR HELP
Washington, Sept. 24.—Senator
today urged every member of the
senate labor committee to take part
in the senate investigation of the
•teel strike, wbich is to begin tomorrow with John Fitzpatrick, representing the workers as the first
witness.
Judge ___ H. Gary, head of the United States Steel corporation, who also
was asked to appear Thursday, noti-
I day for later in the week, Kenyon in-
| dicated. He regards it imperative
! that the Inquiry, if it is to accom-
I plish anything shall be speeded up.
i That legislation may be unnecessary after full publicity has "oeen
given to the facts, is his belief.

Only two independent concerns
were operating in Cleveland today.
Contracts with the Amalgamated Association of Sheet and Tin workers
enabled them to continue production. The last of the subsidiary
plants of the steel corporation shut
down late yesterday.
Police bave taken a firm stand
against the importation of strike
breakers. They took into custody a
batch of D9 men brought from Detroit by a steel company. They ware
given their choice of appearing i*»
court or going back to Detroit.
Choice of the latter was made and
the poilcp herded them on a Detroit-
bound boat near midnight. The po;
lice hold that by keeping out strike
breakers the chances of violence will
be minimized.
Reports here showed the strike
effective in other of the following
Ohio towns:
Canton—6,000 men out and four
plants closed.
Massilllon—Four thousand
